You know, the Jewish American breakfast staple with a slice right down the middle, often topped with lox and cream cheese. Yum!

But wait...what is...THIS:

A style of slicing bagels as you would a loaf of bread — aka bread-sliced — has caused OUTRAGE among a lot of people this week. (Ok, so not real outrage, but, like, bread outrage.)

The drama all started when Alek Krautmann, a St. Louis native and employee of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, tweeted a photo Monday of a box of Panera bagels looking like they’d gone through a paper shredder.

“Today I introduced my coworkers to the St. Louis secret of ordering bagels bread sliced,” he tweeted. “It was a hit!”

“President Trump putting ketchup on his steak”

Now I have to try that. Maybe we can make ketchup on steak a secret Nazi symbol. Carry ketchup packets from McDONALDs into trendy restaurants. Squeeze it on your steak and make your bun-headed server run for his safe space. Maybe you get thrown out without having to pay. Good fun!!

That’s why they invented bagel slicers.

Slicing hands splitting bagels is supposed to be a big cause of emergency room admissions.

They actually call it a 'bagel cut'...

However you slice ‘em, they all end up looking the same once you eat them.

Must be. Bagel chips are sold in the bag all over the country.

I have been in lots of Panera’s and have never seen their bagels sliced like this. Must have been a customer request. If you look at the picture, the boxes are in an office, not Panera. Even though I’ve never seen it done, it makes sense in an office where someone might just want a bite or two for a snack.

Ketchup is made from tomatoes which, as most people know, are fruit. Why isn’t it considered a tomato smoothie?

As a Gentile, does this mean that I engage in cultural appropriation when enjoying a bagel?

(FD: I find the bread-slicing method of preparing bagels to be very shifty.)

Maybe they had an old paper cutter taking up space, and put it to work?

According to Sheldon Cooper, tea is actually "leaf soup" ...
